Kinn Guesthouse Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Ambassador Hotel Milwaukee, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was older Art Deco but very clean and well staffed. Bar and restaurant were surprisingly well run and pretty popular in the area. Would definitely stay here again. Beware of cell service being a bit spotty, but hotel wifi can help."

Hyatt Regency Milwaukee

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice size. Staff friendly and helpful. Our room included buffet breakfast which was ok. Scrambled eggs dry. Waffles soggy But oatmeal and bagels were good. Some fruit and yogurt option also. Evening has an option to order food from the bar area with a limited menu. But accommodating bar tenders. Parking is $36 Getting from garage into hotel can be confusing. Not marked very well. Location for the Miller Life Theater was 2 blocks and easy walk. I would stay there again, but probably order off the menu."

Dubbel Dutch

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, and slightly quirky rooms in a cool old building a short walk from everything downtown; the museums, Pabst theatre, 3rd ward, the river...its all within a 15 minute walk. This place is UNSTAFFED, which was okay with us. It would have been nice if the cute bar downstairs had been open, but it wasn't. Appreciated the coffee maker, hair dryer, and on-site paid parking. We reserved parking through SpotHero for way cheaper than what to he hotel asked."
